    My husband served as a Marine in Desert Shield/Storm. He has barely spoken of his experiences while over there. We have 2 sons, one born in '96 the other in '99. Our oldest is ID (intellectual Disability), dyspraxia, receptive and expressive language disorder, has had numerous therapist from speech, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc. Our youngest is also ID and is on the spectrum ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), with several of the other issues his older brother has. I have had them both genetically tested and those test show nothing abnormal. My husband has had a few health issues but is reluctant to seek out the cause. It is heart breaking watching my children grow and not have the ability to function in society on their own. Our fear is, who will care for them when we are no longer able to? We are wondering if what my husband was exposed to could be the cause of their disabilities, and if there are any other parents out there who are struggling with similar issues, any additional input or sharing of experiences would be welcomed.
